André
Previn's eclectic interests and abilities as a world-renowned conductor,
virtuoso pianist, jazz artist and composer establish him as one of the towering
musical figures of our time. His
compositions-including award-winning scores for stage and film-form an
important part of his legacy. Noah is a charming character piece, the
first of the Two Little Serenades written for Itzhak Perlman, who was
expecting his first child. Not knowing whether the new arrival would be a girl
or a boy, Previn wrote two serenades-Noah and Naava-insisting
that the Perlmans "owed him another baby". The simple dolce melody of Noah is filled with unexpected twists and
turns, portraying the naïveté of a childlike perspective in a complex world. Andrew Smith
